Just opened the box. The tree is easy to put together.   The ends of the branches are real looking, which is important because this is my first artificial tree.  The only thing is the greenery doesn’t start at the trunk of the tree.   Even  after fluffing the tree for over an hour, u can see the trunk in places.  I am going to buy garland to fill the holes and once the ornamnts go on, you won’t see the trunk.
